[QUOTE="laurensmyprincess, post: 171845, member: 2898"] Is she getting speech therapy for the processing issues? Personally I would be making that a huge priority? Yes, she is getting speech therapy for almost 8 months now. It has been helping. The social stories too are a great idea. Last night we had another rage. She has now begun (just over the last two weeks) kicking, biting, hitting, spitting, saying mean things to us when we try to discipline her. She has NEVER raged this way before. I mean we don't even know where this has all come from? Can it just show up out of the blue like that? I mean, we have always had the hyperactivity, districatibility, inattention, non compliance (to a degree), but never ever have we had the aggressive hostile rages like we re seeing now. I am trying hard to use the Ross Greene strategies, but it is so hard sometimes with her. I do think too, that all the medications she is on is aggravating her behavior. The big difference lately is that we have gone up 600mg on the gabapentin in the last 4 weeks or so. As Sara said, gaba can aggravate behaviour. The strange thing is though, she was on lower doses of gaba since January this year, so could the increase just have sent her over the top?? I will be talking to the neuro to see if we can dump or reduce one of them, while still maintaining seizure control (go on the lowest dose possible with optimal seizure control). [/QUOTE]
